Day 3: Sunday May 16 2010
Sleep, didn't wake up once last night. Today we spent 7 plus hours working on choreography for the upcoming week. We are working with a group called Kings Castle. They are great group of brothers and sisters in Christ. We had a lot of fun with them.
Church tonight was two and a half hours long. We attended a Assembly of God church with the Kings Castle group. Music was about an hour long. There worship is amazing, nothing like i have ever seen in the states. You could really tell that they wanted to be there, and that they were there to worship. They were singing, shouting, dancing, jumping, clapping, it was defiantly better than the stiffed neck people who fall asleep in church in America. I sat right beside Martin, He is one of our translators. It was really a blessing sitting by him, because he was able to translate what i could not understand. Also in church tonight we witness what they called a women who was "In Glory" I am skeptical to tell you the truth. Did I mention how hot it was. The church was packed full of people, people in the pews, people sat in the floor in between the pews. and people were outside watching through the windows and doors. It was awesome to watch how everyone seemed thirsty for what the preacher had to say. At the end of service they said a prayer for us, and we probably shook everyones hand twice.
After the church service was over we were invited to have a little traditional meal. So we all pilled into a little room which was behind the church. We were served beans with a bread stick and some kind of cheese. They also served us a desert which was amazing, it was like a rice pudding with a cinnamon flavor. They also served us Pepsi the interesting thing about that one of there leaders Oliver said, Did you know that this is Obama's choice of drink? We all laughed. We'll by this time of the night most of us had to use the restrooms, so we got up and went over to the restrooms, Everyone ended up holding it till we got back to were we were staying. They were unbearable. Before leaving we sang a song, How Great Is Our God. Our team sang it in English, and they sang it in Spanish. It was amazing to feel the presents of God that night in the little room behind the church.
The bus ride home from church was one full of excitement and joy. We sang every song that we could think of, lets just say it sounded bad.
Everyones feet and hands are swollen. Food so far is mas-o-manos. Some is better than others, but we do have rice and beans for every meal. Which i am loving. Tonight Kelsey tried playing a joke on the girls, she took boards out of peoples bunks so that when you get in them you fall through. lucky we found them before anyone got on them. We are not happy with her. We made her put them all back. I'm pretty sure you sweat in the shower down here and the flies are everywhere.
